16 Pea ʻe fakatafoki ʻe ia ʻae tokolahi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he ʻEiki ko honau ʻOtua.
17 Pea ʻe muʻomuʻa ia ʻiate ia ʻi he anga mo e mālohi ʻo ʻIlaisiā, ‘Ke fakatafoki ʻae loto ʻoe mātuʻa ki he fānau,’ mo e talangataʻa ki he poto ʻoe angatonu; ke teuʻi ʻae kakai ke lelei maʻae ʻEiki.”
18 Pea pehē ʻe Sakalaia ki he ʻāngelo, “Te u ʻilo ʻi he hā ʻae meʻa ni? He ko e tangata motuʻa au, pea kuo lahi ʻae taʻu ʻo hoku uaifi.”
19 Pea lea ʻae ʻāngelo, ʻo pehēange kiate ia, “Ko au Kepaleli, ʻoku ou tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua; pea kuo fekau au ke u lea kiate koe, mo fakahā kiate koe ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakafiefia ni.
20 Pea vakai, te ke noa koe, ʻe ʻikai te ke faʻa lea, ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻe hoko ai ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo taʻetui ki heʻeku ngaahi lea, ʻaia ʻe fakamoʻoni ʻi hono kuonga.”

24 Pea hili ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ko ia, naʻe tuituʻia ʻa hono uaifi ko ʻIlisapeti, pea naʻe nofo ia ʻi he lilo, ʻi he māhina ʻe nima, ʻo ne pehē,
25 “Kuo fai pehē ʻe he ʻEiki kiate au, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho naʻa ne vakaiʻi au, ke toʻo ʻiate au hoku manukiʻanga ʻi he kakai.”
